Asking Questions or Questioning allows readers to think more deeply about their reading and learning. Proficient readers ask questions before, during, and after reading and learning. In Chapter 9 of Reading With Meaning by Debbie Miller teaches us the importance of:
Asking purposeful and spontaneous questions before, during, and after reading and learning. pg. 125
Determining whether answers to students questions are found in the text or if they need to use their schema and evidence from the text to infer the answer. pg. 127
Unique interpretations of text by children. pg. 130
Listening to other students' questions and answers adds to our schema, thinking, and comprehension. pg. 131
Questioning is a life skill used in our personal as well as academic lives. pg. 134
Evidence of understanding and independence. pg. 136
